Chapter 64: Rushing to Feng Yi
But said that Guan Yu followed Dong Zhuo back to Xiliang, at this time Dong Zhuo had already become the history of Xizhou Thorn, overseeing the military and political affairs of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong, and his power was unprecedentedly expanded, and he became an unparalleled figure of real power in the locality, a real feudal official, Dong Zhuo also reached the peak of power, although he suffered a lot in the east, but the current glory is enough for him to turn over and rise soon.
Dong Zhuo's task this time is to deal with Xiqiang and the rebellion from Han Sui and Ma Teng, but after Dong Zhuo's arrival, Xiqiang and Han Sui were frightened and retreated without a fight, so Dong Zhuo won the battle without a single soldier, and easily gained a foothold in the west. There is no chance of promotion, but if you can always follow Dong Zhuo, you will not worry that there will be no room for development in the future.
However, things are not as bad as Guan Yu imagined, after Dong Zhuo became the assassin of Xizhou, he did not forget that his subordinates followed his brothers, after sitting in Liangzhou, he immediately convened a meeting of the generals, this time Dong Zhuo once again put the personnel issue on the agenda, Guan Yu attended the meeting as the second general, Dong Zhuo saw that the generals were coming, so he smiled and said: "Calling everyone here today, not to consider difficulties and not to discuss the war, but to give everyone a surprise!" What's the surprise? That is to give each of you in the list of promotions, promotion, you also know that now I am the best long, this kind of glory I can not share alone I can have today's position is also dependent on everyone's support, so even if the court did not speak, did not give you the title, then this matter will be handed over to me, I am now a member of the imperial court, so I have the right to promote the officials of the first grade, listed as a general who has followed the old man from birth to death for many years, no merit and hard work? What's more, everyone has done well, so at today's meeting, I want to knight everyone here! Now it's up to Li Ru to announce it!"
After hearing this, Li Ru took a cloth and said: "The western frontier is the lifeblood of the country, and its status should not be underestimated. Guan Yu is the third product of General Dangkou; Guo Yan is the general of Zhenxi; Fan Chou is the right general, and he is the fourth grade; Zhang Ji is the general of the left, and he is the fourth product; Li Su is a former general, and he is a five-rank general; Hua Xiong is the rear general, and he is the fifth grade; Zhang Ji is a military cadet and is a six-grade lieutenant; Wen was hired as a captain of Xiao Cavalry, and he was a six-pin; Li Yan is the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he is the sixth grade; Niu Fu is the third product of Zhonglang, and Li Ru is the marching Sima, and he is the second product. Announced!
Guan Yu couldn't believe his ears after hearing this, he was actually promoted to the military general of the third grade of the imperial court, you must know that this position is not trivial, it is not good to say that this is called the commander of the group army in modern times! He was suddenly promoted two levels in a row and became a figure on an equal footing with Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu and Guo Yan, second only to Dong Zhuo's fourth person, which greatly surprised him, 27-year-old He can have such a status Obviously, he has reached the peak, and the second master below the same year may still be a horse archer now, and he can't compare with himself at all! It seems that he didn't mess with Dong Zhuo in vain, and he did get a lot of benefits.
After the announcement, all the generals were overjoyed, and a smile bloomed on their faces, Dong Zhuo saw that all the generals smiled happily, but his face suddenly became serious, and then said: "Now we have the two states of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and there are thirteen counties under the rule of Liangzhou, Dunhuang, Jincheng, Xiping, Zhangye, Xihai, Tianshui, Jiuquan, Fengyi, Fufeng, Guangwei, Anding, Nan'an, etc., the scope is unprecedented, the population is unprecedented, and the amount of food is unprecedented. The strength has been seriously damaged, and now we are sitting on such a large territory, I think as a newly promoted everyone should make a difference, what to do? That is to be the right title of yours, I will give you such a big title, of course you have to have such great achievements and soldiers, as well as food and money, I gave the title, this money has to think for yourself! When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and all looked at each other...,
Dong Zhuo continued: "Don't worry, of course, I will also give you a way to make money, didn't I mention these 13 counties above?" Arrange it from large to small and then correspond to your own title, and the corresponding county is where you want to go, that is, the place where your treatment is located, including: people, money, food, etc., you will go to the post immediately, there is only one requirement, that is, you must give me a lot of soldiers and horses and money and food, 30,000 horses and corresponding money and food in the county, these counties are: Liangzhou, Fufeng, Fengyi, Anding, Nan'an; 20,000 horses and corresponding money and grain in the middle counties, which are: Zhangye, Tianshui, Jincheng, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, these five counties; There are 10,000 horses and corresponding money and grain in the small county, which are: Guangwei, Xinping, Beidi, Xiping, and Xihai. I don't need to say who the corresponding person is, you guys should take a seat! There are thirteen of you in all, so that each of the small counties will share two, so do as required! But I'm talking ugly ahead, if you can't complete the mission, don't blame me for being rude, I guess you're embarrassed to ask for your title, right? That's it! ”
After Dong Zhuo finished announcing, he saw that the faces of the generals who were originally excited suddenly became gloomy, where is this promotion to knighthood? The whole one seals himself! I have to fight for it all by myself, it seems that the burden on this body is really not light, all the soldiers are very helpless to go out of Dong Zhuo's mansion, Guan Yu is also helpless like everyone's psychology, what is this called? He suddenly thought that this was very similar to a kind of staff member in modern times, that is, the self-raised personnel of the unit, who relied on their own struggle to spend money, which was no different from self-raising.
After discussion and arrangement, Guan Yu was assigned to Feng Yi, this Feng Yi is an important town of Sanfu, there is a saying that "left Feng Yi, right Fufeng", this is a gateway to the east of Chang'an, Gyeonggi Chang'an, Feng Yi (píng) Yi (yì), placed Feng Yi County, the governor called Feng Yi Taishou, governing Linjin (now Dali), the jurisdiction is similar to the south of Hancheng and Huanglong in Shaanxi Province, east of Baishui and Pucheng and north of the Wei River.
